Jessica is a nurse practitioner and Jose is a retired NYC detective.Two such noble professions, for which we are grateful for their service to our country! Jose was born and raised in NYC and then had family move to Tampa about 15 years ago, and he moved down about three years ago. Jessica was born in Michigan, but has been in Florida since she was three years old.

Jessica and Jose met on 11/17/2017 in Ybor city at Gaspar Grotto. Jessica loves Jose's caring and loving personality. I also love his New York accent especially when he says "cawfee," "silva," "New Yawk" or when he tells me he's standing on line at a store (not in line). Jose makes me a better person everyday.


Jose loves how Jessica always thinks of others before herself. How she is so caring, loving and has the warmest heart he has ever met. How she loves his family like her own. He loves that she's a sports fan and how she will try almost anything once. Go Yankee! Go Big Blue! Go Rangers!

They love to be outside, either at the beach, riding their jet ski, ridin' naked in their Jeep (not really naked, just with the tops off the jeep).They also love to travel, go to sporting events, and explore new places!

Jose, along with Jessicas parents threw a graduation party for her completing her Masters Degree in Nursing, as well as a celebration for passing the state board exam to become a Nurse Practitioner. It was a beautiful night overlooking Tampa Bay, and after Jessica's father and step-father said a few words, Jose took to the microphone to also recognize her achievements.Then, in front of family and friends, with an already prepared proposal (which went out the door), Jose dropped to one knee and proposed.You may see highlights from their engagement session at Hotel Zamora here.

Favorite details about the wedding included, of course the venue their “my must have staircase”.Their favorite part of the day was saying "I do" and celebrating with their family and friends, near and far.
